I am a newbie here and to having my CHL, first let me put your mind at ease as best I can. The website WILL NOT update until your plastic as been issued, this is what I was told from DPS when I called to check on my paperwork. Some here have received their plastic before the website ever updated at all, for me the day after it updated I received mine. By update I mean it will give you the options to change address, report lost or stolen. Also most people usually see results shortly after calling, a friend of mine that took the CHL class with me and had to submit his packet through mail due to a prior criminal offense called on a Thursday and was told his paperwork was still n background check, 2 days later (Saturday) he received his plastic in the mail. I believe if you were to resubmit the packet online it would probably cause a delay if they have already received everything they need, so if I were in your shoes I would keep calling and tell them you mailed it all of on whatever date. Personally when given the option between electronic or mail I always go with electronic, plus with filing electronic they send you a confirmation email so you know the information made it.
